A Čech cover is a type of open cover for a topological space that is constructed using a collection of open sets that are defined in terms of a given subset of the space. It allows for the study of sheaf cohomology by facilitating the construction of a Čech complex, where the intersections of these open sets play a crucial role in the computation of cohomology groups.
congrats on reading the definition of čech cover. now let's actually learn it.
